"Not at all," Wang Fugui said with an apologetic smile. "But what happened today is too strange. Yunwu Sect must investigate it thoroughly. Please forgive me, Elder Lin."
"Hmph!" Old Lin said coldly, "If you want to see Zhang Yun's true strength, just let him advance to the next level, won't that solve the problem?"
Before Wang Fugui could speak, he continued, "I hereby guarantee with my integrity that Zhang Yun did not cheat."
Lin Dong knew Zhang Yun's strength well, and he wasn't entirely sure if the test stone tablet would break on its first attempt.
The second time, he sensed that Zhang Yun had clearly restrained his power, but the testing stone tablet still shattered.
This can only mean one thing: Zhang Yun's strength has long since far exceeded five thousand jin.
This is a peerless genius who has shaken the ages! How could these mediocre people around him want to eliminate such an outstanding talent?
Lin Dong found it both funny and infuriating!
"This..." Wang Fugui knew that Lin Dong thought highly of Zhang Yun, but he did not expect that Zhang Yun would receive such strong support from him, and even use his own name to vouch for him. This put him in a dilemma for a moment.
"Alright, to ensure that our bet is fair and open, let's do as Elder Lin says and let Zhang Yun move on to the next round."
Luo Chen waved his hand and finally spoke.
Despite being the deputy sect leader, Luo Chen's insight far surpasses that of ordinary experts.
Even now, he still finds it hard to believe that Zhang Yun's pure strength has already surpassed the limits of the Body Refinement Realm.
"Yes, Vice Sect Master."
With the deputy sect leader giving the order, Wang Fugui stopped hesitating, straightened his back, and surveyed the noisy training ground. His thunderous voice suddenly rang out!
"quiet……!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the training ground became much quieter.
All eyes were on Wang Fugui.
It seems that the higher-ups of the Yunwu Sect have already made a decision.
"Zhang Yun, you advance to the next level!"
"As for the participants who follow, I will personally verify them. Those who meet my standards will advance to the next round!"
Both the test stone tablet and the backup stone tablet were damaged by Zhang Yun alone. Putting aside the heartache, it would be impossible to rebuild them in a short time. Therefore, only Wang Fugui could personally verify them.
"What?"
Upon hearing that Zhang Yun had actually advanced, many disciples in the audience were shocked and surprised, finding it hard to accept such a reality for a moment.

Chapter 33: The Great Melee!
"I'm sorry, I accidentally used too much force."
Zhang Yun scratched the back of his head sheepishly, smiling apologetically.
"puff……"
Seeing Zhang Yun's smug and arrogant expression, the disciples of Yunwu Sect almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhang Yun, it's only been a few days, but your methods are still so despicable and shameless. I'm ashamed for you."
Just then, a charming and alluring figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"Senior Sister Yun!"
In the training ground, many male disciples from the outer sect shouted in unison, their faces filled with awe and admiration.
Senior Sister Yun is exceptionally talented, stunningly beautiful, and alluringly charming. Unfortunately, she is already the woman of Zhang Zigu, a prodigy of the inner sect.
At this moment, everyone could feel that Yun Mengdie's attitude towards Zhang Yun had completely changed, and her voice even carried a hint of disgust.
"Senior Sister Yun, you're still as beautiful as ever after just a few days." Zhang Yun wasn't angry at all, but smiled slightly, as if Yun Mengdie hadn't been mocking him at all.
Zhang Yun's attitude made Yun Mengdie increasingly disgusted.
That day I developed feelings for Zhang Yun, that good-for-nothing, and almost slept with him. Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely disgusted.
After Zhang Zigu received the news, he also scolded her. Although it didn't come to the point of breaking up, some estrangement inevitably arose between the two.
If she doesn't make an effort to maintain the relationship, it's feared that she and Zhang Zigu will never be able to go back to what they were before.
The culprit behind all of this is Zhang Yun.
This is the greatest humiliation of her life!
Today, she is here to wash away her shame and to prove to Zhang Zigu that everything was Zhang Yun's fault.
"Uncle Luo, in previous years, the second stage of the inner sect assessment was always an elimination tournament in the form of one-on-one duels. This time, how about we try a different method? What do you think, Uncle Luo?"
Ignoring Zhang Yun's smugness, Yun Mengdie bowed to Luo Chen on the platform, drawing curiosity from the disciples present, who wondered what Yun Mengdie was up to.
"Niece Mengdie, you can speak with Sect Master Luo if you have any opinions." Luo Chen laughed heartily, seemingly very fond of Yun Mengdie.
This caused a hint of surprise to flash across the eyes of the outer disciples.
Judging from Yun Mengdie's way of addressing Luo Chen and Luo Chen's attitude, the relationship between Yun Mengdie and Vice Sect Master Luo Chen seems to be more than just a simple one.
"It's very simple," my niece suggested. "All participants in the second round should participate and be allowed to attack anyone at will, creating a free-for-all."
